David Thomas (  Hartlepool ) - 20-Nov-12 23:18 20-Nov-12 Hartlepool Utd 1 Oldham Athletic 2 Overall an abject display. The sending off of Austin was more a reaction to the Oldham players attempt to get out of the way, their bench and Oldham players reactions. Pawson could have stepped back and assessed the damage to the player, he didnt, the player made the absolute most of it, he was fine. He went for the flashy red card out of the pocket.He missed a clear push on Centre Forward Steve Howard in the box for a penalty. In general Howard got nothing off him, many were clear fouls, he received a fearful battering. He was on top of a two footed tackle by an Oldham player on Jack Baldwin but again missed it, but his blowing up for minor indiscretions was particularly annoying. It was the double standard of allowing it to be a mans game when he thought fit and then blowing up for prissy reasons. The penalty decision was clear and justified. All-in-all a performance that gives referees a bad name, which they do not deserve, and spoils the whole spectacle of the game.
